He positively identified by the
victim and by four other witnesses,
and his connection with the transaction
was clearly established. On the other hand, it
was clearly shown by defendants witnesses that
he was not within twenty miles of the scene of
the Lewis transaction. The strangest feat
of the is that Kirbys
alibi is established by witnesses whom
he swindled, or attempted to swindle, by what is
known as the soap racket" on the day when it
was charged he robbed Lewis. Kirby has been
indicted and tried half dozen times, but he has
thus far shown himself too slick to be caught.

position of justice of the peace for the District
of Columbia, in April last, still continues to
sign his name as justice of the peace and has
refused to surrender his Office Gen. John
Evans. formerly of Brooklyn, n. Y. who was
appointed to succeed him. Mr.. Oliver. in letters
TO the President and Attorney general, denieE
the right of the President TO remove him, and
claims that such removal can be effected only for
cause, and then by the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia. after due notice. He also
requests that the order of removal be revoked
and the be referred to the court named for
trial. The Attorney general. in his reply to
these letters. holds that this method of appoint
ing and removing justices of the peace was
changed by subsequent enactment, and that
the President has acted wholly in accordance
with the law. This correspondence took place
prior to the refusal Of Mr.. Oliver to surrender
the Office and il is probable that the courts will
have to settle the matter.
